I'm not sure I get the point of panning but not being able to tilt unless you buy a separate head (another $170). Am I missing something here?

Hi Rohn, you're not missing anything. You do need to buy a separate head unfortunately.

Yes, this version of monopod has a fixed plate, so if you want to tilt a camera, you need to buy a separate head.

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

Just a tilt handle. You'll have to buy an extension. BTW, mine has had to have warrantee work done on it two times, and it still isn't fixed. You might want to look at an upgrade from this model.

no it can't be tilt. but if you need a good monitor for a good Price this is for you.

Actually the crane doesn't pan. You have to use tools to bolt it to a tripod head's quick release plate. Only then can it pan. The camera can't tilt either. Because of the design, it's permanently fixed. Really nothing was thought out, and there's minimal functionality here.

Sorry for the delay but I bought this for my son and I had to get in touch with him to get the answer. He says that he had to buy a robust Ball Head that would hold the weight in order for this to work successfully. The ball head also allows you to tilt and move the camera as you want to. I hope this helps you with your problem.

No,you cannot control pan and tilt with the PC. The camera body attaches to the clamp/base with a ball-and-socket joint.This allows you to make some small adjustments by hand.

You can manually tilt the camera up and down where u need to minitor, but no, does not have pan (or pan and tilt remotely) like some others.

It's a bit difficult but you need to squeeze the same area you did when getting it to tilt and then simultaneously move the top section. A helper would make it easier.

Nonot includedI bought 2 ... I dont use them .. the umbrella allows a tiny bit of tilt but not near enough. its almost like you need an elbow action bracket below the umbrella & I looked at DIY options but none were practical. good luck

You can manually tilt the camera, but not with the remote. I'm sure that would make an awesome feature! I know some of the monitors do, but that feature wasn't worth the cost difference for me. I may wish that I would have paid for that as my daughter becomes more mobile, but so far, I have been really pleased! Hope that helps

I pull out the lever to make the chair lean back. I've never felt the need to make any other adjustment. This is the same approach to "Tilt" that I've used on other chairs. Did you expect something different or have you not been able to pull out the lever so it would tilt?

It isn't nessicaily difficult, but if you don't have a good angle on it it can be awkward. If you are adjusting it that much you may want to look at other options.

I can only speak from my experience, and mine sure doesn't have a good, safe way to tilt it. Diagnosis: not crazy.

I can tilt but not much good as a slave with my 7D. I'm actually selling mines to buy the flash mount that syncs up with my camera properly.

Hey there.First you should know I wound up returning my Jib. The head locked and I wasn't able to use it anymore. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues with it being hard to pan or tilt? To answer your question.The release plate for the Manfrotto 501 is DIFFERENT from the one on the jib arm.

My wife and I do use the pan & tilt feature (not so much with zoom) on a fairly consistent basis. The camera is wall mounted and our little one tends to "drift" while sleeping in her crib. Without the ability to pan/tilt the camera a lot of times we'd be staring at her feet, or if she rotates in the crib, absolutely nothing at all.

SOLOSHOT will only pan. Tilt function is not available. Maybe one day they will incorporate that feature. I've had mine for almost a yr now and musta done 30 video edits already. Here's the latest one.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxhWe7XozMI&feature;=share&list;=UULhyIKBLFiXMBcrCDK63ZGw
